Wolfways Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Well....nuts. I guess I'll give the game a go without the merged patch and see if it's okay. Thanks for the help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokend Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Every Skyrim modding video I've watched in the past year including ones by people like Gopher and Gamerpoets. This isn't normal? I thought that the SSEEdit was for resolving conflicts while the bashed patch (Wrye Bash) combines leveled lists.Are you using mods that conflict with each other that don't have patches to resolve the conflict? If you are, then you should only need to make a merged patch for the conflicting mods anyways. As far as I know HadToRegister is quite right, there is no real need to create both a SSEEdit merged patch and a Wry Bash patch. Some people just create their own merged patches and do not use either of those tools. I recall in Legendary you were advised to delete the leveled patches in a TES5Edit merged patch before creating a Wrye Bash patch. This speaks to your comment about which patches were for what. At that time some mod authors were advising you to create both a TES5Edit merged patch and a Wrye Bash patch for their mod. This was some years ago and I have not seen advice like that for a number of years now, and never for SSE. I would check the date of when those guides came out, Over the years advice about cleaning and and merging mods has changed quite a bit.I suppose my own knowledge on the subject is years old too, but even I don't remember anything about needing to include literally everything, just the conflicts.

Wolfways Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I've just been letting Vortex sort things out and choosing which files override others when asked. I do have patches for many mods though. I removed the merged patch and rebuilt the bashed patch though, and so far things seem okay (a few CTD's at first but it stopped).

wfandrews Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 That certainly could have been the mod I was thinking of as I use WMX in FNV. I probably should not have implied there were other mods that gave the same advice on there mod page. I still maintain that there are many guides out there that have not been updated in years, if ever, and one should check the date when the guide was first made before taking it as gospel.

HadToRegister Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Well, I just tried the newest WryeBash 309.1 and I'm pleasantly surprised, it loaded my COMPLETE 367 esp/esl/espfe load order, and I'm currently making a bashed Patch.Apparently the newest Xedit can also load up a big load order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
